US Treasury sanctions Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex and three other exchanges for sanctions evasion.
The US Treasury Department announced sanctions on Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, along with three other exchanges, accusing them of enabling the Iranian government and blacklisted institutions to circumvent Western sanctions. The sanctions follow a Reuters investigation that detailed how Nobitex processed hundreds of millions of dollars for Iran's central bank and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Two brothers from the influential Kharrazi family and the exchange's CEO were also individually sanctioned.
